Where did you get the edge piping from mate, finishes the floor nicely

[@jamespenny94]

I think just eBay, PVC edge piping

Hey, great work-I am, however, unclear on how the seat is attached. Obviously the seat is attached to the rails. But are the rails just glued in? Cheers (and hello from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺🤙)

[@jamespenny94]

Rails are bolted through the length of the floor. The seat sits inside the runners.

[@bmxbanditdude]

@@jamespenny94 Ah, that makes much more sense! Cheers 🤙

[@jimthevan]

Once again top job - nice a simply explained. I'm also fitting floor rail system - did you fit them yourself? Which threshold and side steps did you use? cheers

[@jamespenny94]

Done myself. Not a pleasant job. Lots of head scratching and trying to cobble part numbers. Plus you have to remove virtually everything from the underside. Trims are from a California. Bare in mind they are designed for California trim all over so do have bits missing

[@jimthevan]

thanks for the reply - sounds like I have a bit of a job ahead! @@jamespenny94

[@jamespenny94]

If you have a 6 then removing the adblue tank is probably the worst bit as you have to lower the fuel take at the same time but can’t remove it because the adblue filler blocks it.

Looking good pal. What colour altro is that ur using ? Thanks

[@jamespenny94]

Good question, I’ll have to double check but it’s the black walkway 20. I think the charcoal is similar but with slightly larger of the “sparkly” bits. Now it’s in with everything it’s nice and subtle

[@sjeffrey7971]

Looks great. thinking of ordering the same colour altro if u can post the what 1 as I have the same carpeting and couldn't decide what colour altro to go for.

Hi James. What have you done for the rear part of the California seat where it’s made into a bed? I’ve got one myself and struggling for good ideas. Thanks.

[@jamespenny94]

I came up with a load of variations for a sliding mechanism that I could use with Bikes but decided that by the time I’d got all the bits it would have cost as much as the thing I bought. I ended up using the Multiflex brackets from here. steefree.com/products/multiflexboard-for-vw-t5-t6-california-conversions

[@georgefreeman9438]

Apologis if I missed it, but are the ply sheets fixed down? And if so how?

[@jamespenny94]

Only by adhesive onto the mat. If you cut it right and fix everything on top then it’s not going anywhere!

[@NeilRowe-m3y]

What rails are those?

[@jamespenny94]

Genuine California ones
